There are some articles here on CP that original authors no longer support, for whatever reason. My suggestion: if OA no longer wants to support article, he can email admin@CP, and article will be flagged with "no author attached" visual flag. Any CP member can then request admin@CP to transfer article ownership to him. Of course, this request will be reviewed by admin@CP.

 Are you serious? How can someone take ownership without permission of owner? Don't we call that stealing?
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

As I said in my post, "if OA no longer wants to support article, he can email admin@CP". In other words, the OA must initiate this, so no, it's not stealing, it's the OA handing over his article to someone else. Please read my post again.

I think the "owner wannabe" can still answer queries at the article discussion board, without being the actual author of the article, because the article is the hard work of the actual author. Just my thought.

You're right, and you can see a lot of examples of that happening. But in terms of collecting together bug fixes, or extending the article's code, there is really no substitute for being able to upload a new zip file to the article's page, especially if you had someone who was enthusiastic about supporting the code.

I agree with you. In that case, probably the CP admin could into that matter and make the enthusiastic person as a co-author, without transferring the actual ownership of the published material.

You know, until you mentioned it, I had forgotten about the new "co-author" feature. Maybe that would work. Thanks!

Why not leave the original article in place, but have a process whereby an enthusiast can take over a 'new edition' which acknowledges the original author (and links to the original). The enthusiast could request this and if not vetoed by the original author then it would proceed - the original article would have a clear link at the top to the newer maintained version that would collect votes and feedback separately.

When I click edit i do not get my previous text. Is it just my computer? I am using firefox and cphog.
|

Probably related to the next post...
Looks, like cphog is causing this.

Yes, without CPHog, I do see my previous text when I edit. Thanks and sorry for the bogus problem request.

Just now, in SB, I wanted to add to one of my comments. I clicked modify, typed in my added text, and hit 'post'. Next thing, only the new text was present in my comment.

If you click the link or link[^] buttons with no text selected it attempts to post your message.

nope. The JS used to autoinsert clickies around a URL pasted into the text box works perfectly, the link buttons are still triggering the navigate away from this page warning.

Home machine is:
FF 2.0.0.12
Adblock Pro 0.7.5.3
ABP is innocent though, the same happened with it disabled.
My work machine is FF2.* with ABP and a PDF addin of some sort. Can check exact specs tomorrow.

Hi from the "paradise" of Lanna (that's northern Thailand),
I'd like to give a few personal opinions on the current style and format of the "Daily News" from CodeProject. But I'd like to emphasize that I am devoted enthusiast for CodeProject, and it's the only site where I often click-through on ads just to express my support for CP and its unique group of participans and dedicated staff.
1. for me "Daily News" is too often with too low content to ad ratio.
2. vendors' ads which don't name the vendor and/or product(s) are ones I am not motivated to click on no matter what the ad says.
3. the constant addition of slightly satirical (or facetious or ironic or whatever) subtitles to the brief blurbs on the actual content for me becomes tiresome. For me few are actually funny, and they are distracting. I feel like that space they take up could be used to say more about what the linked content is actually about.
Some of the content titles ... as well as the comments ... are, for me, actually cryptic : I don't have time to go to Easter Island let alone on easter-egg hunts
I'd much prefer a CodeProject weekly news, with vendor names and products clearly identified. More information about what the linked content is, and maybe just a smidgen of the hip-ironic asides when the editor just has to let it out
best, Bill Woodruff
